The Tropicana sensitivity training session, sign here class start Jan 14

[Tropicana]

Same question I asked Twiney. When you immediately confront people about something of concern to you when they are in the midst of dealing with a painful situation themselves, how effectively has this been working? Have you been successful in having your concerns addressed and your needs met immediately and consistently?

It would be helpful if you, Twiney, Rolling Calf, and anyone else who is participating in this sensitivity training would share some specific examples of when using a confrontational approach immediately without taking time out has proven to be an effective strategy in dealing with someone who is going through a personal crisis. While you think of a scenario? I'll serve some cool, refreshing beverages and provide some background music and video footage to help you relax while you think of a situation.

yuh really nuh know mi if you ask this question ... mi probably wait till the ink dry on mi signature on the complaint form (or it safely delivered to the appropriate office) before mi express mi condolences if mi feel like it. IS THE WHOLE BEING NICE AND POLITICALLY CORRECT FOOLISHNESS MAKE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE...

if the boss is too upset by personal issues to deal with day to day confrontations he or she should be off on leave of some sort NOT at work

[Tropicana]

....and how often in our cut throat corporate world do companies give employees the time and space they need to heal after a tragedy? 2- 3 days compassionate leave if that. It can be cols out there.....really cold. The almighty dollar is all that counts in some companies and politics rule.

[Tropicana]

Our experience and the context determine how we perceive situations and the meaning we give them. The context and our background experience can create illusions and barriers to communication and conflict resolution. This applies even when processing colour, the simplest function our brain performs

In more complex situations in which emotions and traumatic experiences provide the context and background, our perceptions can vary significantly from those with whom we interact on a daily basis.

Come on now family stop making excuses.

Obama went to the white suburb that was Sandy Hook to preach and give speeches.

WHAT IN THE F* CK is stopping him from going to HIS HOMETOWN, HIS HOME STATE, HIS HOME STATE SENATE DISTRICT, HIS HOME US SENATE DISTRICT, to use his pulpit to end the violence.

THE MAN IS LITERALLY FROM CHICAGO AND HAS LIVED THERE FOR THE MAJORITY OF HIS LIFE.

WHAT IS STOPPING HIM FROM VISITING THE CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE, THE PLACE THAT BUNDLED MOST OF HIS CAMPAIGN MONEY???

WHERE IS OPRAH, AL SHARPTON, AND JESSE JACKSON?

SHOULDNT THESE SO CALLED LEADERS BE GIVING DAILY REPORTS?

IS IT BECAUSE THE BABIES THAT ARE DYING ARE BLACK?

He goes to every white city but his own home town, his own home state senate district, his own home us senate district, the place where he raised his children, the place where he bundled his campaign money.

His actions are simple inexcusable. Those dead babies and their family don't want a quiet timid speech in the oval office.

THEY WANT DAILY AND WEEKLY COMMITMENT FROM THEIR PRESIDENT.

Why isn't the violence in our streets seen as an economic issue and a national security issue?

Is it because of the way we look?

As it is said in Jamaica " 'oo know bettah, do bettah". Just because others are insensitive does not excuse our insensitivity.

Still looking for responses to the question about the perception images so that we can debrief that exercise.

Also, no one advocating the confront people even when they are hurting has shared and example of how that strategy has worked effectively for them. Looking forward to it.

I can think of people getting fired for using a confrontational approach to resolving most situations but I can't think of an example when this has worked in anyone's favour if the person they are confronting is going through a crises themselves.
